Three things:

1) Awesome
2) EMP resistance is a bonus
3) i have a metal duplex box you can have to mount the timer on.

I took a quick look at it yesterday. What we have right now is a pretty 
old-school mercury thermostat. It's dead simple to change the wires around 
(screws not solder).

This week I'll pick up one of these:
http://www.intermatic.com/Products/Timers/InWallTimers/Springwound_Auto-Off_Timers/FFCommercialSeries/FF6H.aspx
and wire it up in series with the thermostat. It looks like I should be able to 
do it without so much as cutting or soldering existing wires. It won't cost 
more that $25 and will keep us from running the AC longer then we mean to.

Although I do have one I'm not using. I prefer my analogue mercury switch.

Does anyone have a spare electronic thermostat kicking around? It shouldn't be 
too much work to switch out the old analogue one with a digital one with timer 
function.

As for automating turning it off, I assume that the temperature is set
with a little lever. If so, we could mount a servo under it that
knocks it to a higher temp setting at around 9:30 or so, then get sout
of the way again. If the a/c is already off, nothing happens. No need
to automatically turn it on as the servo would be out of the way in
the morning for the next person to use the thermostat.

This would be a fun little into to electronics project someone could
tackle at the next circuit night.
